Poll: change default Image Occlusion mask colours?

Agree with the red color.

Why no blur?

Rounded corners can be implemented to new users only

I think the blur looks odd and unnecessary. Masks are better in my opinion.

i’m also against blur. doesn’t really look like a mask, and is somewhat distracting.
also

contrast seems fine to me, am i missing something? it’s not as good as

but the color-blindness simulation still seems discernable even at extremely low screen brightness or even with night-light filter turned on to the max.

do we have any confirmation it’s actually inaccessible? (could be just a bad simulation, of course)

Blurring blends nicely with the background, regardless of its color. Compare these

Look at the images above. Perhaps the lack of a border is what makes you think it doesn’t look like a mask. In any case, I believe that masks should not “look like” anything. They should just disappear.

Edit: with more blur, it hardly looks like a blur anymore while still achieving good blending.

Edit 2: The blur works even better if you adjust the placement of the masks so as to cover mostly the background.

Honestly, the blur makes it look crowded.

How?. The blur doesn’t take up any extra space and, as I already mentioned, doesn’t look much different from a solid color if its argument is big enough (e.g. blur(25px)).

It might be just me.
